Zaburi 13

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

3 Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

4 Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

5 Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation:

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.
